Do "vegetables" technically exist? | FOOD WORDS
In this episode of Words Unravelled, Rob and Jess explore the delicious origins of our words for foods. They delve into the etymology of "dinner", "lunch" and all manner of mealtime, and ask whether "vegetables" technically even exist. As usual, there are one or two saucy stories to be told too (wait 'til you hear what "vanilla" actually means...). 👂LISTEN: https://podfollow.com/words-unravelle... or search for "Words Unravelled" wherever you get your podcasts. ==LINKS== Rob's YouTube channel: / robwords Jess' Useless Etymology blog: https://uselessetymology.com/ Rob on X: x.com/robwordsyt Jess on TikTok: tiktok.com/@jesszafarris #etymology #wordfacts #English
